Works from my las solo exhibition exhibit in Artenllà Gallery in Barcelona and in Nitido Gallery in Marbella.
This series talks about impermanence and change, the natural cycles of life and death.

Skulls and flowers

"I have always been fascinated by Xrays, by their peculiar texture and above all by the fact that they portray the interior, that which is unseen to the naked eye. In the same way, I have tried to reflect in these work the inner sense of the changes I experiment, the silent but steady fall ot the body."
The cold X-ray feel of the bodies painted on acrylic reveal the impulse to distance oneself from this crude reality. However, the velvety texture of the pigment on the acrylic returns to us the closeness of skin, the personal and subjective contact with this truth in the ageing body.

X rays of time

Contrast is a series made with fluid acrylic painting mixed with ash, all works are painted on canvas. They refer to earth, water and fire, natural elements which conform our material body and its opposites  light and dark.
I used only primary colors. The creating process was very intuitive and gestual, in the search of simplicity.

Contrast

Pinturas realizadas con técnica mixta sobre madera, tela o papel.
Obras abstractas o semiabstractas donde se fusionan muchos de los recursos utilizados durante los últimos años.
“Each work is a little adventure, with its moments of pleasure, excitement, disappointment, surprise, uncertainty, chaos, order and play. In the limited space of a canvas I am totally free of concepts or preconceived ideas, I let myself be guided by feelings, intuition is my traveling companion, at the same time I observe and reflect on the result. The process is repeated until exhausted itself and the work is finished.”
